Landscapes are continually changing. These changes occur on a large
scale at a slow pace. At WSL we are investigating their causes and the effects
they have on humans and the environment. This research provides a sound scientific
basis for sustainable landscape development, which aims at (a) protecting landscape quality and (b) fostering the
identification of the population with their everyday landscape.

Landschaftsgenetik macht Verborgenes sichtbar
|
Landschaftsgenetik verbindet Landschaftsökologie mit Populationsgenetik. Sie ermöglicht es, die Ausbreitung von Tieren und Pflanzen mit Landschaftselementen, z.B. Barrieren und Korridoren, in Verbindung zu bringen. Damit liefert Landschaftsgenetik wichtige Grundlagen für die Planung und Umsetzung im Naturschutz.
